Explain Why I Want To Get Better At Tennis

As a Professional Tennis Coach I want my students to be the best they can be in tennis, i use that mentality to try their hardest in everything they do. I also want to create future tennis pro’s, by training them everyday they can develop their game to get at least a college scholarship.

While my athleticism developed, I neglected honing my mental strength, leading me to not achieve my potential during matches. Allowing my mind to dictate my emotions rather than produce strategies led to frequent defeats. However, with motivational tales recounted by my coach and plenty of work on my part, I gained the ability to focus and rise up to become a nationally competitive tennis player.

I started playing tennis when I was about 12, not knowing much about the sport or how it would affect me. However, Tennis taught me how to succeed in everything else. Tennis forces me to accept responsibility for my actions and manage my mistakes. Tennis forces me to cope with pressure and adversity. I am forced to make thousands of crucial decisions in a small amount of time. Through high school varsity, I learned sportsmanship and the meaning of teamwork. Through coaching tennis over the summer, I have learned to advertise my skills and how to communicate better with kids and adults. I have enhanced my discipline, developed a work ethic and learned to compete.

My journey on my high school tennis team has been a peculiar one. Going into my freshman year I was touted as one the stellar players, one who was on the path straight to varsity. Unfortunately, I tore one of the ligaments in my right wrist and was sidelined for the months right before the tennis season. Going into my season, my confidence was low, I was worried about making the junior varsity team. I would end up making JV but not varsity. The next year I was back with more determination. Injury free, I had high expectations but lacked confidence. As I entered try-outs, I was shocked. My teammates were waiting for me. Each one of them came up to me and told me that they knew I was going to play this year, and that I was going to live up to

Noreen was inspired to start playing herself, by watching her brother from the sidelines. Although she discovered tennis at a very young age, she did not start playing, until she was ten. Noreen was preoccupied with dance and other activities, and never got around to actually playing herself. Noreen began training recreationally but soon started playing at some academies. This year, she entered into high school and joined the Piedmont High varsity tennis team. From being a part of a supportive team, with amazing coaches, Noreen has learned a lot from her teammates along with exposure to many remarkable experiences. With an abundance of wonderful role models from her team surrounding her, she is inspired to constantly try her best and to appreciate tennis. She aspires to be more competitive when it comes to playing, and to progress in improving her playing overall. Her hope is to never lose her passion for the sport and to continue playing it throughout her

After a long day of school, listening to teachers go on and on about an “important subject”, I just want to be able to relax, hang out with some friends, or spend some time in my hammock. Yet, I open up the myHomework app on my iPad, only to find that night’s homework on display for me. I cry a little inside, take a deep breath, and get to work.

To begin with, you are going to get straight A's and to do that is to go get your homework and start on it. After that you now need to get prepared for your classes. For Example, if I didn’t do my homework, I would probably fail and if I didn’t get prepare or organized that would be failing too. And if I didn’t do all that a straight F in a class.

I want not only pass this class, but I also want to get an A. I’ve been wanting to try out for a sport, but I always feel like something is stopping me from trying out. I want to get a few extracurriculars in before I graduate, but I haven’t really gotten into any. I would like to make a few more friends before I graduate, but I am content with the friends I already have. I would really like to change my image, because I feel like the teachers and my peers never get to really see the real me, because I usually keep to myself in

This spring break I practiced tennis and I also got moved down to jv because I wasn’t going to my tnnis practice when I was supposed to I was a varsity player so I kinda felt bad because I didn’t tried my best when I played my match that’s why I gt moved down to jv but ima try to get back in the varsity team I just need to practice more and prove my coach that I derserve that varsity spot.

My friend brain and Daniel have gotten better at tennis they moved two spots up in the chart by the way im numbr 13 in the chart my friend brian is number 6 and my friend Daniel is number

I still recall the many hours spent as a kid hitting a tennis ball against the drywall in my empty garage. Tennis has inspired much of my intrinsic growth since then, both socially and mentally, developing two core values that I continue to adhere to today: persistence and making a substantial impact. Consistently pushing through situations in which I have struggled has contributed to my persistence and my desire to excel, whether as a professional tennis coach or as an aspiring physician in a medical care facility. I have come to learn that with people in general, there is really no losing; everyone has something they want or need that makes them tick, and throughout my tennis coaching career, I have found that the more you are able to understand people’s wants or needs, the more influential you can be for them.

GOALS: What goal(s) do you have with regards to tennis (simply improve, play in high school, win team/individual awards, play college, etc.) I have many tennis goals.

Tennis, an individual sport, a mental battle between you and your opponent, a physical chess match, a sport that easily reflects who has been working the hardest, is the sport I chose to compete in at relatively young age; however, it was not until my junior season that I really began to understand the game, and it happened in an unexpected way. Every year to start the boys tennis season the coach hosts an intense tournament in order to set the lineup. The winner of this tournament is granted the opportunity of wearing the crown of number one singles. In a week where teammates become opponents we battle for this respected position. Heading into my Junior season I had defended the top position from all opposition every previous year. One would

To start off, in this last quarter of the school year, I want to accomplish the three goals I want to accomplish for the final quarter. My first goal I want to accomplish is getting A’s and A+’s in Math, Science, and Commarts class. Also I want to accomplish this goal because I struggle when it comes to handing it homework to get the grades I am hoping for the final quarter. Although when it is time for her too put my grades in the grade book it is a C, D, of F. I will have to accomplish doing my homework with my mom and in team study with Mr.Morgan so I get A’s and A+'s for my grades. To add on, my second goal I want to accomplish is turning in my homework right away not at the last minute. I want to accomplish this goal because, I struggle

I have been good for a month and I am slowly dying inside without my phone. How would you feel if I did more work around the house? I understand I need to be more responsible. We can make a contract that I will follow until I'm sixteen, and we can review the contract when I am ready to get a phone. On this contract, there will be rules that I will follow. One of the rules that we can put in place

I am not doing so well in two of my classes. Those two classes are learning lab and English. I have a B in learning lab but , I think it's going to go down because this recent quiz that I had I didn't do so well. I had a headache and I didn't feel like doing the work. I have an F in English and I try to raise it up but , we haven't done any work for my grade to work. I got my grade down because I had to take a test and I did horribaly in that test. I am doing horrible in those classes because I haven't been doing work and paying attention. I need to start making goals for myself so I can not get bad grades and pay attention.
